Exam policies

Midterm (evening) exams are scheduled from 6:00p to 7:30p. Work on the exam will begin promptly at 6:15p and end at 7:15p. Don't be late! Conflict with a course? See the University Evening Exam policy.

Makeup exams. With good reason only (documentable course conflicts, serious personal tragedies). Make up exams must be arranged with Professor Martin in advance, by the end of lecture on the day preceding the evening exam. In case of an exam conflict between two courses, Academic Regulations state that the course with the higher final digit(s) in its schedule number (our schedule number is 50518) must offer a makeup. See No other arrangements will be made for missed exams.

Personal integrity and honesty are fully expected in all exams and in the classroom. In fairness to others, cheating of any kind will be prosecuted to the full extent of University regulations.


Resources

Textbook

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity, Kotz & Treichel, Fifth Edition, Thomson Books, 2003 (available at the Textbook Annex).

Chemistry Resource Center

The Chemistry Resource Center (CRC) is the place to go for help of any kind. In the CRC (GSMN 152), you can talk with TA's and faculty, and ask them questions about lecture or lab. The hours are extensive, as shown at right.

TA's are on duty to help you from 12:00pm to 9:00pm, M-F

They may be working on computers or helping others, so if you need help, raise your hand and ask if there are any TA's who can help you.
